As I’ve worked to build out HOF Capital ’s portfolio acceleration platform , the #1 question I think about is: how do we scalably support our companies? Large private equity funds like KKR can afford to pursue a consulting model ( Capstone ), typically with associated fees, but that doesn’t normally make economic sense for a VC. We have lower AUM, therefore lower management fees.

by Brian Engard. According to a 2017 Gallup poll , 51 percent of employees are either actively searching for new jobs or keeping an eye on job openings. This likely has something to do with the fact that only a third of American employees are engaged by their work, and only a fifth feel that they’re managed in a way that motivates them. While it used to be common for employees to move up the ranks in their company, now 91 percent of employees report leaving their company the last time they chan

Software businesses have a conversion problem that’s both getting worse and going mostly unsolved. And that problem is mobile. Though the topic of mobile conversion rates of ecommerce websites is often broaches, it’s rare we talk about SaaS or B2B. It’s mostly been written off. “People don’t buy on mobile,” we say. However, this is often a problematic view (if you care about your business or the customer experience, that is).
